It’s been so long since we’ve heard from Goapele that the thought of new music from her almost didn’t register when I saw her name in the inbox. Although “Nothing Compares 2 U” doesn’t appear to lead anywhere closer to an album, this rendition which is brilliantly blended over Kanye’s “Runaway,” should erase all remembrance of Sinead O’Connor’s massively popular cover from the ’90s.

Goapele did her thing with this version; but I don’t think it is knocking Sinead’s rendition out of the box.

I’m w/Bigga. That song = Sinead. Hell, she may have made people forget that Prince fucked w/it.

Gotty: I used to think that until I got this tape from an ex. It was a live Prince concert from amsterdam. He performed it and destroyed it; while I have Sinead’s up there Prince took ownership after hearing it. Of course that scallywag took the blasted tape after we broke up. lol

I think she’s reaching out to Kanye. I heard her sing over Common’s “Go” and “The Corner”. And she kilt em, as she did this one.

“It’s been so long since we’ve heard from Goapele…”

Probably because she’s been too busy making hemp products and selling incense. She just has that look…
